Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

C. Robertson is a 32-year-old central defender at Dundee, rated 16.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 210th of 225 on scout potential in the Premiership. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.97 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Robertson.

Judged on this season alone, Robertson graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 32nd of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership, on 3 clean sheets and 1.973 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 33rd of 35 of the 35 centre-backs in the Premiership. At 32 Robertson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.5 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 15 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.21 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central defender.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.97 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.9, Robertson carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premiership of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Dundee finished 9th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
